Re: Pot control or protection? Discuss this texture
I think you have to cbet this flop most of the time.
Villain will turn up with AK, QQ, AQs, JJ and throw in a couple other weird hands here and there.
I understand the desire to control the pot, but even this villain is going to have a very hard time getting away from AK here. If he raises it will at least allow you to make a judgement call here on the flop. If you give a free card, you will still be faced with the same difficult decision on the turn.
I don't like checking this flop. There are a lot of scare cards that can come up on the turn, both for you and also for an AK if he has one. I think this is a situation where you protect the pot and bet.
